Applications and Features of Metallized Polyester Film Capacitors (MKT)
EPCOS’s Metallized Polyester Film Capacitors, with the series numbers B32520 to B32529, are designed for general purpose applications. Suitable usages include blocking, coupling, decoupling, bypassing, and RFI filtering, particularly in the automotive industry. The capacitors operate at a maximum temperature of 125°C and fall under the climatic category of 55/125/56 as per IEC 60068-1.
Construction and Features
The construction of these capacitors involves a dielectric made of polyester (PET) and are available in stacked-film and wound capacitor technology options. The case is manufactured from plastic that complies with UL 94 V-0 standards, and the sealing is done using epoxy resin, also UL 94 V-0 compliant. The datasheet emphasizes their high pulse strength and high contact reliability, and indicates they are RoHS-compatible. Halogen-free variants can be requested.
Product Dimensions and Marking
The datasheet illustrates the different dimensions regarding lead spacing and diameter for the capacitor variants, catering to diverse requirements. Each capacitor is marked with the manufacturer’s logo, capacitance, tolerance, voltage, date of manufacture (coded), and series and lot number.
Terminals and Delivery Options
Capacitors from the EPCOS B32520 529 Series are fitted with parallel wire leads, which are lead-free tinned, and customizable lead lengths are available upon request. The delivery of these components can be either in bulk format (untaped) or on a reel or Ammo pack (taped), suiting various packaging preferences.
